Performance of the fucking year. If he doesn't win best supporting actor it will be hell on earth I swear to god, even a bigger snub than Cate Blanchett last year. Robert Downey Jr's definitive role, what an absolute masterclass of a film this is. It trully is it to me one of the best films of all time.

The video that I'm preparing on Oppenheimer is currently 12 minutes long so it will take a while to finish, but it will be worth it I promise.

That last "Something... more important" delivered ice cold
it's excellent how it just entirely punctures his ego - there were far more important things are stake, but Strauss thought it was just about his own career
It definitely fuckin did!
…more important…
@@TheLio666 just to remember the thing that was more important was someone elses actual political career - he was in the shadows. JFK made no speeches in the dark
He lost Best Supporting Actor to a performance in a Nolan film. It will be a full circle moment if he wins Best Supporting Actor for his performance in a Nolan film.
De Niro stands in the way
@@captprice0079nope
@@captprice0079he’s not gonna win. If anything Ryan Gosling is his competition
@@ricky93100 sorry but RDJ has a better chance winning the Oscar, and I personally think that de Niro will nab the win
@@bignerd5529 RDJ will likely win. Experts say the odds are against Deniro winning so I trust them more. Also RDJ winning just makes so much sense considering he’s never won before. This is his time
I love that final line. Because it wasn’t Oppenheimer that led Strauss to his downfall. It was narcissism and arrogance.
If Oppenheimer's clearance had been restored during Strauss' lifetime, he would have lost his mind.
and JFK's desire to support the underdog. Coupled with him being, well, JFK
The cast for Oppenheimer was STACKED and Robert's performance was still so captivating in every single scene he's in.
Robert De Niro better steal his award because he was better in Killers of The Flower Moon, people aren't talking about him as much because the film didn't gain as much traction but when it comes to technical skill, Robert De Niro in KOTFM was way better.
@@CrudeSkiMaskcry somewhere else, not here
De Niro was evil personified. Amazing performance!
Rdj will win however this goes .
@@CrudeSkiMaskIn my opinion they have same technical skills in these productions, but I choose RDJr, bsc he never won the oscar
*Strauss:* I think they're cheating on me.
*Oppenheimer:* Albert, we probably destroyed all of humanity.
It's so weird, at the beginning you were kind of liking him but by the end you hated him. Great performance by Downy Jr
Yeah Downey just has such a likable presence that you want to believe Strauss and can’t help but be on his side at first, and then the second half just stuns you with the depths of his arrogance and maliciousness
Strauss fell on the sword for the whole American people. There had to be somebody who was part of the bombs creation who could tell us with confidence that its creators were not wizards or gods. We couldn't live under that fear, we smacked down Oppenheimer and the old guard and we kept on making bigger bombs, the french figured it out when Oppenheimer said they didn't have the mathematic foundation. Strauss did have to lie and act like a malicious beast that Oppenheimer was gonna turn spy for the soviets, but it was necessary. The man in this movie and real life sold himself to the public as a real life ghoul, Strauss cut his nuts off.
I think we naturally want Downey to be the guy we’ve come to love, it was hard to like in this for sure.
The Snake .
Honestly, I'd say it's the opposite. While Lewis is later shown in the movie to have more self serving motives, it would be foolish (even a little ignorant) to place this all on his shoulders and relieve Oppenheimer of his own actions. As Oppenheimer did cause a lot of things by himself that really can't be blamed on Lewis.
The way I view it is that there were no good guys or bad guys, but a bunch of flawed people who let their own desires, hubris and egos get in the way.
The fact that IMAX had to invent a new format for black & white film, just so Nolan could driect scenes like these is amazing.
Actually, Nolan went straight to Kodak to ask them to make B&W film in the IMAX format.
I mean, it's a lot easier when you have $100 million at your disposal and a major film studio behind you. 🤷♂️ Props to him for having the vision and ambition for it, though.
@@Laissez-faire402100m for a film of this ambition and quality is actually very little money
@@jmchez The same company who detected the first atomic bomb test on Trinity ironic isn't it
If you are not insane, then you would watch this movie at home, so that you can rewind it. No matter how good you understand English.
This movie gave, in my opinion, the best movie roles for both Robert Downey Jr and Cillian Murphy, and i really hope that they both win the Oscars for it
The best movie role for RDJ will always be Tony Stark.
@@pirateeagleofficialtrue cinema ignorance
I've never been a fan of Cillian Murphy, especially all his roles in Nolan movies. Never understood what he saw in him, assumed they must've been good freinds primarily... But he totally stunned me in a leading roll in Oppenheimer... would love to see him get an Oscar.
But the Strauss scenes are my favorite!
@@bradwiggins2332what a wierd take. Imo he has always been the most human and alive actor on the Nolen movies. Hes performances have been so belivebele. Espessialy in inception and dunkirk.
@@lukeuszLFCIron Man is a Hero for everyone
*Spoiler:* Nolan was so careful about initially revealing the legitimate reasons Strauss would have for not taking a liking to Oppenheimer, and RDJ gives such a measured, sympathetic performance that we feel for him with these snubs (one deliberate, most small and unwittingly given) Oppenheimer is dishing out; as the film chugs along, though, we see the more troubling aspects of Strauss's character begin to peak out, and by the end, we witness how his deep narcissism, vindictiveness, and paranoia has allowed what should be a small, personal distaste to completely control him to the point of trying to ruin another man's life. Unlike what would happen today, these personality traits and actions justly deny him a high position in public office. Great stuff.
It is to a degree oversimplified. Strauss had other reasons to dislike Oppenheimer. One was a devoted orthodox Jew, the other was a flamboyant atheist.
That second to last sentence of yours is 👍
This is a small sample of doctor doom. Now imagine this performance but the intelligence, egotism, passion, and mental strength, and HATE for his biggest Opp all turned up to 11 and you get Victor Von DOOM
2:20 beautiful scene. It was amazing because it's true. Two of the greatest minds of their time and Strauss thought that they were bad mouthing him. Really shows how narcissism clouds everything else.
"Narcism" never heard of that.
@@carlosdario9810 it's a regular word bro
@@venkputta271 maybe you’re referring to “narcissism”. Next time you should take a dictionary before trying to look smart.
@@carlosdario9810 fair answer, but maybe you should also provide the correct answer instead of just saying 'never heard of that' in your original post, you must be real fun at parties lmfaooo
@@venkputta271 I’m not your teacher or anyone’s for that matter. Do your own research little guy.
By the end of this decade this will surely be remembered as one of the greatest performances in cinema.
for doing what? Being in the movie for 5 minutes?
@@mooganify screentime =/= quality.
It is quite scary to meet this kind of people like Lewis Strauss since they are the perfect life destroyer. They are truly vindictive in their nature
Im one of them
@@haaron3979 🤓
@@haaron3979 r u happy with ur life then
yeah, he's going to be AMAZING as doom
Robert performance was top tier, one of the best ones I've seen in years, really happy that u made this video brother, top notch!
Daniel Day Lewis ? Lol
Best since Heath Ledger as The Joker . Pure malevolence .
The last thing with Strauss (not in this video) was the huge, forced smile he gave to that guy and the press at the end to hide his anger. Classic.
I really, REALLY hope he wins an Oscar for his role in Oppenheimer, that scene where he just lets out all his anger towards Oppenheimer was beautifully acted and I can see the Academy using it when they name the nominees for Best Supporting Actor and I hope he wins it over Ryan “hejustlikemefr” Gosling.
In fact, this is a preview of RDJ as Doctor Doom.
From losing the oscar to a nolan film to winning the oscar in a nolan film! Downey has indeed come full circle.
"just a shoe salesman" shows the indignant state of Strauss, wish I'd understood the subtext when watching the first time... so good
You catch so much of this movie with rewatches. Brilliant stuff
it’s one of the best exchanges in the film in my opinion, due to how much it’s a microcosm of both characters
oppenheimer, stumbling through life with the vaguest of good intentions, manages to carelessly spit out a poor attempt at a compliment, not even considering the consequences it may have
while strauss, so concerned with his own self-image and reputation, immediately assumes the remark is an attack on him and defensively rushes to respond in to the perceived slight
His' was honestly one of my favourite performances from the movie, besides from Cillian Murphy, the man goes from charming and likeable on the surface to egotistical and vindictive, fuming with anger, just one of those guys who thinks that the universe revolves around them.
Great performance in a masterpiece of a film, hopefully RDJ gets him an Oscar nom at least
I AM GOING TO DESTROY THE WORLD IF HE DOES NOT GET AN OSCAR FOR THIS OMGGG WHAT REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE
Thank God world is safe for now 😀😀 though I hear you brother, and totally with you on that 👍🏻
Well deserved Golden Globe win for RDJ! He had me stunned of his portrayal of Strauss!
Obviously, he's well known by everyone as Tony Stark/Iron Man, but outside of his superhero gig, this must be one of his greatest performances I've seen from RDJ. He truly deserved that first ever Oscar win last night! ❤
I was in the midst of reading the 48 loss of power by Robert Greene by the time I saw Oppenheimer for the first time. It blew me away how much from the book applied to Strauss’s actions and motivations. From Kitty’s lines like “the truly vindictive have the patience of a saint” to his own line like “power stays in the shadows” was really incredible to see how a lot of the book’s laws played out on screen.
Strauss was correct. There was a mole in New Mexico and knowledge spread to Russia because of the open discussions. And he was also right to advocate for the monitoring of isotope trades globally in the new era. And the Americans totally needed a H bomb. But it was his vindictiveness and pettiness that lead to his downfall. He thought it was all about him, when Oppenheimer was barely thinking about him. It but him later at the hearing
“Is it possible they were talking about something…more important?”
*Aggressive grinning* 😬😁
Robert Downey Jr. is coming for that Oscar.
Looks like RDJ will finally win his Academy Award.
I’d never felt too strongly about him one way or another as an actor but I was pinned to my seat whenever he was on screen in this. The Oscar shouldn’t even be a contest.
Man! For the first ten minutes of Lewis Strauss appearing I couldn’t figure out it was RDJ! A phenomenal performance and a well deserved oscar
I love the delivery of this line: "He wanted to be remembered for Trinity, NOT Hiroshima, NOT Nagasaki!"
movie of the year yes
When i walked out of the theatre after seeing oppenheimer for the first time my first comment to my wife was Robert downey's preformance was truly amazing. He better get the oscar!
Well deserved Oscar for best supporting actor
Strauss in this movie reminds me of a quote from the brilliant British comedy series “Peep Show.” The character, Mark Corrigan, when asked why he’s invited someone he doesn’t actually like to his party, replies: “I thought it would look petty and vindictive not to invite him and as a petty and vindictive individual I have to take extra care not to appear petty and vindictive.”
thank fuck he grew out of marvel to be something he's always been , GOAT
Watch : the Judge
Robert Downey Jr. had Finally Won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in Oppenheimer.
Go get your oscar Robert
This is a really well made compilation with the tension rising as the music gets louder. This compliments the film really well
To me, this is RDJ's defining role. I hear he also starred in some obscure superhero movies....
💀
"who was the leader of the opposition?" "A young senator named Kennedy, John F Kennedy" sent chills up my spine
First off amazing edit but more importantly RDJ's performance was truly astonishing you start off by liking him the story unfolds and you're like hell yeah but then you see the larger lesson which is vindictiveness gets you nowhere... Can't help but pity him by the end of it, truly breathtaking
That one scene where he says oppenheimer would do it all again convinced me that Robert Downey Junior is the goat.
Seriously, best actor ever. Shame they didn't give him more roles besides iron man
When the Villian and the Hero both win Oscars, YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AN EPIC MOVIE. 🎉
Watching this previous to the Oscars ceremony, cause I know the award is his. He was brilliant, I just want to see him win.
Panos did an excellent compilation what a movie, I had to go see it twice. Robert Downey Jr. Steels every scene he is in
Strauss is a man who could’ve stopped himself from ruining his life with just a little cognitive behavioral therapy.
and a little less being blindsided by a guy with his eye on the prize - Strauss might have gone down in history as a no-actual-page wiki entry if JFK hadn't gone 'wait, that's something i can make a name out of'. As, for all his bad actions he was a civil servant working his way through civil servant ranks and getting to an approval-by-default hearing, if not for one senator from Massachusetts who wanted to write his name on the moon...
There are going to be Lewis Strauss sigma grindset videos in a few months 😆
Wouldn't be the first time people missed the point by idolizing a Nolan movie villain
He going to win an Oscar. Count on that.
And he did.😊
@@liamphibia Yes he did.
RD one of the great actors of his generation..comedy, thrillers, super hero and drama
I remember when I watched the movie, i thought this was the best performance of RDJ I have ever seen.
He proved he is more than just Tony stark ❤
I salute you for this amazing edit, very clean and epic like the performance and movie.
Robert Downey Jr tried very hard in this movie to cast off the shadow of Tony Stark, and dare I say it, if he didn't succeed then he came damn close.
Edit: He DID succeed, that Oscar says so.
Two separate Oscar nominations for playing Charlie Chaplin and another for playing the dude playing the dude disguised as another dude. I’ll be damned if this isn’t his third.
Dude he’s been acting long before Iron Man 😂. He dosent need to prove a shit to idiots like you
Speechlessness. That's what such brilliance is able to elicit.
Appreciate you friend
2019:
Robert Downey by Iron Man vs. Joaquin Phoenix by The Joker
Rematch after 4 year later:
Robert Downey Jr by Oppenheimer vs Joaquin Phoenix by Napoleon
Are they even in the same category? In their new movies, Joaquin is lead actor while Robbert is supporting actor.
@@dentangaji6161 Best Actor Joaquin Phoenix/Napoleon v Best Actor Supporting RDJ/Lewiss Strauss
even at the end, i was cheering for strauss if not for Oppenheimer insulting him he would not want any revenge
Great video. Cant wait for your napoleon edit!
Napoleon isn't even released yet
@@ILLUSIONZ224vh4ip ? What relevance does this have to my comment? I said i cant wait for the napoleon edit, there’s no indication that the movie is already released, just that im excited for the Napoleon video, which will obviously come AFTER the movie releases 💀
i hope rdj gets the recognition he deserves for this role and if that is achieved by an oscar win or nomination thats great. but the oscars aren't just about talent anymore, its about if youre an alphabet person and what race you are. how much a movie and the people in it align with a certain ideology.
either way i hope robert knows how many people love, appreciate and recognize his phenomenal acting outside of just iron man
this literally gave me chills
And the *Oscar* goes to...
Phenomenal edit! Bravo. This type of editing is in the future of Hollywood;world.
That monologue about Oppenheimer from about 1:36-1:50 is really well done by Downey. The best performance in the film.
Epic performance
Best movie of the century. Period
In the end, his ego and inflated sense of importance was his downfall
Già ego fueld by his insecurity
And now he won the Oscar 🤍💯
What a madman
Strauss was the Aaron Burr to Oppenheimer's Hamilton
❤❤❤❤best acting of RDJ hope he willl win
When I was leaving cinema after seeing Oppenhemer I said "If RDJ is not going to win an oscar as supporting actor I'm gonna eat my damn shoes." And here we are...
ロバート・ダウニー・Jrさんの演技はとても素晴らしいです👏
He won
awesome work bro🙌🏼
..and he won
The facts that he is Dr Doom now is ironic
1:49 when you tell a joke in class but nobody laughs but then your friend repeats it louder and everyone laughs
1:45 is where he got the oscar in the BAG
Congrats are in order for Robert Downey, Jr, as he wins 2024 Golden Globe for Best male actor in a supporting role, motion picture, drama for "Oppenheimer". Well deserved!
Brilliant acting. 👏
What a delivery.
RDJ on 🔥. Gives me chills whenever he is on scene when I saw Oppenheimer in the cinema
Finally, and actor that surpasses Kirk Lazarus.
YES YES YES!!!
If RDJ won an Oscar for this role it will because of this clip
this is just awesome!!!!, btw what are these kind of edits called?
A tribute I guess
Great edit
"Your father, he helped give us the atomic bomb. Now, what kind of a world would it be today if he was as selfish as you?"
Who is coming here after watching rdj win at Oscar?...✅🤣
But only because Oppenheimer called him a shoe salesman he created fake story against him
Thats Ego man
😡😡
Strauss had Oppenheimer's security clearance revoked because he believed Oppenheimer to be a threat to national security. Oppenheimer wanted the US to reveal the extent of its nuclear arsenal, thinking that Russia would voluntarily limit their own production of nuclear weapons to match what the US had. Dangerous and naive.
I don't think it had anything to do with the shoe salesman remark. It was because his paranoia and narcissism made him believe that Oppenheimer had turned Einstein against him. Not only is it ego, it's hypocritical and vindictive. He did to Oppenheimer exactly what he believed Oppenheimer had done to him.
@@ZukoHalliwell Also Oppenheimers constant disagreement with him regarding the hydrogen bomb and insulting him in front of everyone right after Straws offered him a job played a big part too
If Oppenheimer wasn’t such an self absorbed asshole, he wouldn’t have made enemies such a Strauss
It's like Amadeus and Salieri.
Wow. Amazing work.
Argumenty nejsou moje momenty jen mám 💓 každý to má jinak .
The 'more important' point is a lot more relevant when you have the full 'a young senator from Massachusetts trying to make a name for himself' bit. Because Stauss honestly didn't matter politically, or he wouldn't if JFK hadn't needed to make a massive point to get his name on the map. Strauss didn't matter- even if his arguments about Oppenheimer were taken in a generous light, the thing that mattered was that JFK sided with the underdog, because politics is only reality once you've slapped a label on it.
No question.
Amazing!
